Hey guys,

I found something interesting in attempting to deploy OSSEC in agent/
server model. Not sure what the implications are here, but it seems
like 1514 isn't the only port OSSEC retains communication over (since
it's UDP I think?).

The firewall rules that I'm working with are very restrictive. And UDP
is also restricted. I requested that 1514 UDP be opened on both the
server and agents but still couldn't get OSSEC to communicate between
the agents/servers.

After running a tcpdump, I found this:

18:24:49.215025 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto
UDP (17), length 93) 10.x.x.x.1514 > 216.x.x.x.43591: UDP, length 65


So it seems the server was sending a request to the destination where
the destination port is dynamic.


Is there something I'm missing here?
